My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 172

The dining room of the Hughes family mansion was one-of-a-kind.

The walls were glass, from floor to ceiling, offering a sweeping panorama of the scenery.

Through the open windows, the scent of countless flowers wafted in on a light breeze.

If you listened closely, you could even hear the clicks and chirps of the wildlife outside.

Having a meal in a place like this would be a feast for all the senses!

Rich people sure have it good, Willow thought to herself.

Presented upon the dining table were luxuries flown in by air from abroad: premium-grade king crab, lobster, a whole platter of assorted raw fish sashimi…

It was a feast of seafood… a fantastic festival of flavors and colors!

Just the sight of it already had Willow drooling.

She’d always loved seafood… but Buscen City was nowhere near the sea, which made seafood items costly there. Struggling to feed four children meant that having seafood was out of the question.

It had been five years since she last tasted any.

Now, confronted with the sight of an entire table fully laden with seafood delights… the delicious aromas filled her grateful lungs. Digestive juices began to flow, and her tummy rumbled in eager anticipation.

Embarrassed, she clutched frantically at her own abdomen.

Overhearing the audible sounds of her hunger, Cindy smiled benevolently. “Willow, go ahead and tuck right in! Make yourself at home, don’t be shy! This feast was prepared especially in your honor!”

Willow tried to salvage her tattered dignity with a wretched attempt at courtesy: “But how kind of you, grandma! How in the world did you guess all my favorite foods?”

It certainly couldn’t have been a tip from Jasper. He himself should have no clue. Up until just a few days ago, neither of them had even suspected the connection they shared from that night five years ago. They had only been colleagues at the same workplace.

And in that workplace, he was the CEO in charge of a massive and successful company, while she was a lowly cleaning woman.
